Topband: Short receiving verticals question

[donovanf at starpower.net]

At the speeds that deer run across an open field, I doubt that repellant will help. 

Seven foot fence posts work perfectly, and they will last a lifetime!

A possible answer might be here:

They sell predator urine which discourages animals from going near 
the smell. My YL uses it to keep the squirrels out of her flowers and 
it works extremely well. I just had my antenna wires clipped by a 
rabbit over last weekend (saw the tracks in the snow) and I put some 
coyote urine in a vial the company sells and have that at my radial 
plate. I'm sure it'll work as well for keeping them away here as it 
does in her garden. 

If it would have tried chewing the 160 Inv-L while I was working the 
contest I might have had a nice supper.
